Ocular rosacea refers to a condition where rosacea affects the eye and, according to an item in the March 2001 issue of Cosmetic Dermatology, it is significantly underdiagnosed and untreated. They note that “an estimated 13 million U. S. adults [with rosacea],… indicated they also experienced discomfort or redness of the eyes in varying degrees.” Those with ocular rosacea most commonly experience irritation of the lids and eye, as well as sties and chronically red eyes. In rare cases, ocular rosacea can also affect the cornea. This condition can be treated, usually with soothing eye drops (but not Visine), along with oral or topical antibiotics, but it requires a dermatologic evaluation before any action is taken.
